00:10

from like a million years ago redefined actress sis's roles

00:15

It's a good one All right well until we figure

00:20

out what the sentence wants to say we can deduce

00:23

that our answer will be in the plural possessive Instead

00:26

of trying to work backward from the answer choices it's

00:28

much easier to know the rules for making possessive and

00:32

just go from there Well the first step is finding

00:34

the plural of actress which is actresses to make this

00:38

possessive just adding apostrophe That's it we don't need to

00:41

say actresses is says whatever this is so it's big

00:46

and possessive always include punctuation We never add an s

00:50

or yes thinking after the apostrophe and actresses refers to

00:54

the singular possessive like indeed yeah it's a grammar miracle

00:58

even if it isn't quite on thirty fourth street Yeah

01:01

that was the movie miracle on thirty fourth street marine
